Post by: felix5616 on December 19, 2007, 07:17:55 am

I would like to know what the narrowest width paper people are using on their HP Z3100 24" printer. HP claime the narrowest paper is 17", i have heard but can not confirm that 13" paper will work.

Umm...why would you want to? Isn't the whole point of a large format printer...you know...printing large?

My HP Z3100 44" printer will handle letter size sheet paper, and I have also printed on 13" roll papers.

You need 13" paper to calibrate the printer, but I have printed 8x10 inch sheets.  They are a pain to get aligned.

I believe that Ernst or Neil have answered this definitively in the past and that the minimum is a 13" roll.  Ernst had a metric calculation that translated to 13".
